Lots of file copyingand renaming?
I have Approx 1000 files that all need to be copied from one directory to another. However, each file has to be renamed while it is copied. I have a Tab delimited text file containing all of the old and new file names (they are not all the same character length). Is there a way to read in the old and new file names from this text file into a script that can perform the copy and rename on all the .mat files in the directory.
Example of filenames.txt.
old_name1.mat newfile_name1.mat
old_name2.mat newfile_name2.mat
old_name3.mat newfile_name3.mat
Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

NAME
MAT - Metadata Anonymisation Toolkit
SYNOPSIS
mat [options] files
mat-gui
DESCRIPTION
The Metadata Anonymisation Toolkit is a lib (with a CLI and a GUI) created to anonymise file's metadata. In essence, metadata answer who,
what, when, where, why, and how about every face of the data that are being documented. They can be a risk for privacy.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-a, --add2archive
Add to outputed archive non-supported filetypes
-b, --backup
Keep a backup copy
-c, --check
Check if a file is free of harmful metadatas
-d, --display
List all the harmful meta of a file without removing them
-f, --force
Don't check if files are clean before cleaning
-l, --list
List all supported fileformat
-v, --version
Display version and exit
EXAMPLES
mat --display mydocument.pdf
Display the mydocument.pdf's harmful metadata
mat --check *.jpg
Check all the jpg images from the current folder
NOTES
MAT only process metadata, it does not handle file data. Blame yourself if you are traced back because of the data of your files. MAT is
not perfect : In most of the cases, a forensic expert with a lot of time can trace back your document. If you want absolute privacy, use
plain-text.

MAT does not handle watermaking/tattoo for now.
